Stinger226 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=975...amp;src=desktop He outta know. He is just a rich guy , do you honestly think he knows what he is talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 He is just a rich guy , do you honestly think he knows what he is talking about. One might think he is qualified to know what a thug is since he lives in Detroit. That he employs a player voted by the NFL players as the dirtiest in the league should also give him a clue. Perhaps because he sees thugs all around him he assumes the Bears have the same type of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan PHX Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Actually the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" implies that they are BOTH the same, in this case both thugs. And while I appreciate the irony given that Detroit is one of the dirtiest teams in the league, I am not willing to make that point while also saying the Bears are dirty, cuz they're not. I see a hard hitting aggressive team that plays within the rules. I don't see cheap shots from this team. I see fierce competitors. You probably didnt mean that when you started this thread, just the irony of Ford's statement, still i thought I'd make the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite sure that what I meant was indeed ironic. When the phrase was used it was 'tongue in cheek' which I can't actually do because I'm typing.

BearFan PHX Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah that's what I figured Grizzly, my response was to the phrase, and not what you meant by it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
